I solved this one after watching your setter interview on Memeristor's channel.
You did a very nice use of the Broken 159 rule combined with renban/GW. Worked liked magic. Thanks.

My first attempt at a broken 159, so took a lot of time to wrap my head around the constraint, but in the end, got there ! Great fun ! Thanks, the_cogito :) Great puzzle !!

I corrected an issue on the f-puzzles link with the central renban. It is meant to be a length 4 renban, and now conflict highlighting should reflect that. Apologies.

I had mislabeled the solution code, it should be ok now :) Sorry about that!

Yes, it looks like the solution code is wrong!
